I need a low impact agility work out that won't aggervate my knees too bad as I have arthritis in the insides of both knees. need to lose weight and riding a bike is just to boring and has hoping that I could work on both at the same time.
.
Oddly enough I just tried one of the elliptical machines at the gym.
Felt strange the first few minutes - after that I could see how you could get a very good workout using it. Felt little or no stress on my knees - your quads take a lot of the workout.
I would recommend it - will most likely become part of my regular workout.
